White, blush and burgundy and thistles- a pretty combination for a fall or winter bouquet

Same arbour, different looks - at Oceanstone Seaside Resort Did you know that if you plan on repurposing your arbour florals that this will impact it’s design? A garland made the day before is possible to take down after your ceremony and place on the head table. It will be a tighter and more uniform look. But if you want a fuller and wilder look, this style is created on site and typically stays up on the arbour. It will frame your ceremony and plus it’s a great place for gu...ests to take photos under! Venue: Oceanstone Photos: Terri-Lynn Warren Photography, Brittany MacLeod Photography, Cooked Photography

Next week I have my last wedding of the year and then it’s onto Christmas centrepieces! Thankful for being busy Photo by Terri-Lynn Warren Photography

I love a bold pop of blue thistles, or eryngium, in a winter white bouquet this bridesmaid bouquet is ready to shine today at Oceanstone

The last five wreaths out of the studio door yesterday I was surprised about how much I enjoyed making wreaths this year. I didn’t tire of them once and truly enjoyed making each one. Thank you to everyone who placed an order, and a special thank you to those who ordered a surprise me wreath and trusted my creativity. Those were especially fun to make and I will definitely be bringing them back next year!

Fall is coming, you can feel it in the air this morning. And that is perfectly okay with me! It’s my favourite season - weather, clothing, food, flowers, everything Photo by Marie Roy Photography

Boutonnieres - one of those pieces I love making but never seem to get the time to photograph before they leave my studio as they are one of the last things to make. So beautiful shots like these from Terri-Lynn Warren Photography make me happy .

To all the parents, kids, teachers and school staff on the first day back at school wishing you all patience and courage as you adapt to the change. . Photo of this gorgeous bride by @terrilynnwarrenphotography

Detail shots - something I wish I did more of for my wedding. The day goes by in such a whirlwind it’s sometimes hard to take in all the details. I highly recommend asking your photographer take photos of those special items - your bouquet, boutonnière, vows, rings, etc. This lovely bouquet shot was taken by Terri-Lynn Warren Photography

A little video of Chanell’s bridal bouquet from last weekend before it went out the door. I was in love with all the local blooms that I was able to use from Barefoot Blooms and Vermeulen Farms. Their delicateness and movement adds such a whimsical element to the bouquet.

Do you know anyone in Truro that deserves something special today? Check out Anther & Apiary’s page below

My calendar is filling up faster than normal for this time of year. With COVID pushing couples to move their weddings and new couples getting engaged, 2021 is busier than ever. I feel for those postponing and planning amidst this pandemic, but I am grateful to have some business lined up for next year. 2020 has been a year of cancellations and uncertainties for my little wedding flower business. I look forward to being able to design again very soon. Thank you to everyone for... your support. My June and August 2021 are now fully booked. I can offer florals for elopements, but otherwise those two months are booked for full service weddings. Contact me if you want to know more about my availability for your wedding date, or if you are thinking of eloping or having a micro-wedding and would still love some beautiful flowers (I eloped and I highly recommend it ) Photo credit Terri-Lynn Warren Photography

Two more weeks until I start my wedding season for 2020! Can’t wait to create once again for all my wonderful couples Photo by @fionachiuphoto

No it doesn’t have to always be a white spray rose and simple greenery. A boutonnière can be different and colourful and still masculine. Match it to your tie (or not) and make it your own!

Although trends come and go, I will always be on board for toffee roses

My first time doing a floral ceremony piece on a tree great to be a part of this wonderful styled shoot planned by @skysthelimithfx and featuring a talented team of vendors.
